Blackie the Tie-Dyed Prototype Black Bear

Like it’s counterpart tie-dyed Chilly, here is the tie-dyed Blackie the bear! Solid black snout and black nose to denote it’s a Blackie prototype. Blackie, while not an original 9, is a prominent 1st generation style. A MQ 1st generation production Blackie is one of the top 3 rarest first generation styles to locate in MWMT condition. This prototype has incredible coloring, and a mint pax tush tag and pax hang tag. We continue on the Ty Warner tour of tie-dyed flat-lying bear prototypes…

Rarity Rank: -.5. We mean, check, check, check! A full departure for an iconic/rare 1st generation style that is WAY outside of the box in beloved tie-dyed fabric. Early 1992 pax dates. This piece is extraordinary. The fact that its counterparts survived really help place this piece in its particular storied prototype history. Another piece kept locked away with a Ty Executive. Awesome to have the this paired next to his Chilly counterpart!
